Hello. This is the beginning of week 3 of veg.
I've been harvesting the Blackberry Moonrocks I had growing in the greenhouse (6 plants) and indoor grow room (3 plants).
I'm the guy who saved the Pink Kush from the grow op bust about 30 years ago. I didn't know what I had so I was calling Hash Plant at the time.
It was ReeferMan who put the Pink Kush name on it. I was giving and selling clones at that time and he finally got one in a trade with some old boys.
See my the beginning of my first Pink Kush diary for the whole story. I even waved to the cops as I carried it off. (I was a garbageman at that time). Little did they know I'd save a clone. 😁
So I like to get different Pink Kush's when I can, to check them out, to see if they can even come close to the original.
I didn't know that it was a world class strain in the beginning, it was just Good! Gave me a dizzying head rush every time I stood up. Super strong.
So don't order from this guy.
I got these seeds from Coastal Mary seed bank - She's listed on the breeders page. I got them fast, a few days. But when I opened the packages there were white seeds.
I emailed Coastal Mary who said that WeedaSec packages their own seeds, then she asked if they would germinate? I didn't want to try them at that time.
I emailed WeedaSec about the white seeds, but didn't get a response. I just took the loss of the few bucks the seeds cost.
A few months after I bought the seeds I checked on him and he was on a different website with other breeders.
I checked on him before writing this to find him on his own website now. I guess he doesn't play well with others and he's in for the money, explaining the white seeds.
Coastal Mary was nice she even sent me a package of AK47 to try when I said I was on Grow Diaries.
So I ended up starting 12 seeds and it looks like I got 9 seedlings out of it. One started and came up but just stopped growing.
I had to take off the shell and membrane from 3 seedlings. I'm getting better at it, I haven't broken a seedling in years.
In my 30 years of growing indoors I've found, the ones I've had to take the shell off of, turned out to be, good high test ones.
Some of these seedlings look mutated though. They usually start putting out normal looking leaves by the 3rd set of leaves if they have weird leaves, so we'll see how they grow.
Light food right now. They will get their first mixed food next watering.
I'll dig out a new Freak Bros comic book for next week, for you to enjoy.
Ok. Be Great.
Chuck.
@Chuckwaggon420, There are web sites for used stuff in your city. Mine is called usedvictoria.ca
The person I got it off had been sponsored and had 2 grows with it. I got a good price on a almost new light.
When I got it, it hadn't been released to the public yet. I can dim it down to 20% for seedlings.

@Chuckwaggon420, Hi Buddy.
I start with filtered water. If the filter can take out things like lead and mercury then it will take out some fungus spores.
I think the biggest problem for the seeds is the Pythium Root Rot fungus. The spores are everywhere and chlorine doesn't kill them, so filter them out.
I add the HP for extra oxygen to help and it cleans the water too. It also helps to break down the membrane so the seeds will slip right out of their shells.
I add a pinch of cinnamon because it's anti-fungal to start with and it has the same properties as cloning gel.
If the seeds are older I will add some cloning gel to the water for a little extra umph for the seeds.
I've had pretty good sucuess with older seeds with this method.
Best wishes.
Chuck.
